Notes About The Poem

*Inspired by a conversation

It Is Time

It is time, everyone…
We need to unite!
Our country cannot survive,
This kind of division!
Thunder rumbling differences
Accusations flying both directions
	- Winds Crossed  -
Friction and hatred brewing,
In a pot, ready to overflow
	 - Enough! -
We are graciously granted freedom
In a country meant to be united!
      - We are all equal -
It is time, everyone, it is time!

I don't see how anyone could disagree, Heidi. I believe it would take each of us to see from a different perspective. Sounds like common sense yet it seems we did it in years gone by. A potent write, Heidi xxoo

Thank you very much Vijay :) I wish it would be heard and pondered, instead of people continuing to feed into it or giving up !
